        I upgraded from the 500GB version. While that was great, the extra capacity is even better. I use it for both personal and business, and carry it w me to clients. It's simple plug and play.

        I have purchased 5 units up to date in the past year.
        One of this 5 failed
        this is the reason I'm not giving 5 stars.

        The other ones perform great.
        Plug and PLay
        simple
